A preterm neonate underwent emergent laparotomy for presumed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Intra-operatively, neonatal perforated appendicitis (NPA) was encountered. This may represent a form of NEC localized to the appendix. A high index of clinical suspicion and early laparotomy are recommended.
一名早产儿因疑似坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC)接受了急诊剖腹手术。术中发现了新生儿穿孔性阑尾炎(NPA)。这可能代表了一种局限于阑尾的NEC形式。建议保持高度的临床怀疑并尽早进行剖腹手术。
